In the midst of a cop-killer culture, it’s tough to find celebrities more than willing to speak out for law enforcement. Sure, a lot of will visit the memorials to the fallen, don an NYPD cap on stage or say, in public, they “respect the work of men and women in blue,” but when it comes to taking a stand on the tough issues, like gun control, substance abuse, drunk driving, police brutality, etc., publicists seem to have issued a gag order. During his Full Bluntal Nugity Tour, however, Ted Nugent–wild-eyed and bushy-tailed–took time out for an exclusive consultation to address a great deal of of his disputable convictions. You may praise him, hate him, fear him or ignore him, but based on the masses that attend his concerts, and wildly applaud his high-decibel, pro-gun, pro-hunting philosophy, he’s fastly and vastly getting a political strength to be reckoned with. Q. What’s your take on gun buy-back programs. A. I think they suck. I think the only humans who are inclined to turn them in are 1) law-abiding citizens, who have been befooled into believing that being defenseless is in some way desirable; 2) thieves, that have taken vantage of this politically-correct, brain-dead policy to go and rip people off, and get a free, bypass jail card, for stealing other people’s weapons… it has never been proven to reduce crime or the use of fire arms in crimes… One of the self-evident truths that this nation is based on, is that God gave us the gift of life. If you take that universal truism to heart, then you would have to be an evil monster to think that a good person will have to not have the right to keep and bear arms to protect that gift of life. When a good person is unarmed, he is defenseless. And to be unarmed and defenseless is irresponsible and an sheer middle finger in God’s face saying ‘thank you for the life, but it’s not worth protecting. That is brain dead! To be unarmed is to be deliberately helpless, and that is irresponsible. My heart, my soul, my intellect, and my spirit will not concede it. Q. Isn’t it just instinctive for humans to want to protect themselves? A. Ya think?! The last time I checked–and this is a statistic that all the law enforcement community has got to stand by–all the dead good guys are dead because they were unarmed. Q. We’ve had a number of police officers shot, a good deal of fatally in St. Louis, over the last few years, so… A. HELLO?! There was a cop, the day before yesterday, in Houston, while I was there, who stopped a civilian corresponding a sure M-O in connection with a rash of tool thievery. And as he was questioning the suspect, the suspect blindsided him, and started out stabbing him with a knife. Well, the officer did what God wanted him to do: He shot him dead. I would love for someone to try and defend bad guys saying that we will have to use anything less than deadly strength to stop them from stabbing us.” Q. How did you get involved in law enforcement? A. I’ve been a sheriff’s deputy in Lake County, Mich. since 1980. I have always ratted on people. Because when a person commits crimes he’s my enemy. He’s blood sucking from the good elements of society, so I’ve always turned them in, and Sheriff Blevins, at the time, who was a outstanding Marine in Vietnam, saw that I was a outstanding source for precise and heartfelt information. Consequently, he swore me in, and the current Sheriff, Bob Hiltz? continued that, so my oath takes me to Dec. 31, 2004. I think [both sheriffs] saw that I am the uttermost citizen, who functions as eyes-ears radar for good guys, who the cops ultimately serve and protect. And because they need input from society, I am on a we-the-people jihad to educate citizens that the police serve and protect us, and that we owe them a communication with regards to observations in our communities. It’s like a grand Neighborhood Watch program, because America is our neighborhood, and what kind of a feeble citizen wouldn’t keep his eye out for criminal activity. Q. What do you say to the people who ‘don’t want to get involved’, won’t go to court to testify. A. They’re pathetic! How may you not want to get involved in an experiment in self-government. How may you not want to get involved in ‘We the people?’ You can’t be an American and not want to be involved. (Pounding fist on table, then jabbing index finger in interviewer). You’ll find in interviews, from 1967 to today, I’ve always celebrated the brave heroes of law enforcement. I’ve always done gains for them. Always stopped them on the street and thanked them. And my children… I instruct them all to show appreciation for cops and firemen. I just consider that the bare minimum of a good American citizen. Q. Do you focus your [investigative] attention within the rock and roll community? A. Being clean and sober, my radar picks up on good; I celebrate the good, and do everything in my power to neutralize evil, which is effortlessly identifiable: the humans who commit crimes. Q. What with regards to the tough issues facing law enforcement, like high-speed pursuit policies? Do you have an sentiment on this? A. No, I don’t have an opinion, I have an observation: When you send out a message that bad guys won’t be chased, bad guys are encouraged to commit more bad guy stuff. That’s not my opinion. That’s a scientific, humane nature truism. Q. What do you tell the people who push for these kinds of laws or restraints on police? A. Ya know, I don’t tell them anything, because I don’t waste my time with retards or idiots. I tell working- hard, playing-hard Americans that you’ve got to speak up, so that the good humans may fight for quality of life and security of neighborhoods. I give hope or courage to them to commune with elected officials to get policies that give hope or courage to cops to shoot humans that are stabbing people, and to shoot kidnappers, and to neutralize evil. Whenever you find a dead cop it’s because he hesitated. Q. What in regards to your own security? Because of your strong stands on hunting, it sounds like animal rights groups have you amongst their cross hairs. A. I’ve arrested people… taken them into custody. Q. Can you do that? A. Watch me. I don’t recognise if I’m officially authorized, but Tom, ask me if I give a shit. Q. Do you give a… A. I’m going to do what’s right because I recognise what’s right. And if it means stepping on toes, or ruffling feathers, I just get that much more enjoyment out of it. I am a very tolerant person, who just happens to have carried massive fire power allround my life. I may take spitting, name-calling, the throwing of soft projectiles, but if I feel lives or the security of innocents are threatened, I’ll react… and decisively. As a law enforcement officer, and as a citizen, you have the intellect, as well as the physical and spiritual strength to neutralize evil. If you’ve read the basi chapter of God, Guns and Rock & Roll, you know that I saved an off-duty cops life once in Miami, when a couple of thugs were attempting to pry his thumb off his.357. And if I didn’t have a Glock on my belt, I wouldn’t have fucked with them. I’d have hid behind the tire of the car with my life. But because I had the tools by which I could neutralize escalating violence–life-threatening force–I didn’t hesitate to intervene. I mean my mind was on an adrenaline dumpage prepared to shoot these cock suckers. Q. That’s great. How did… A. And I’m just a guitar player. And that’s pretty pathetic when a guitar player stands above the intermediate citizen. But when your intermediate citizen is fundamentally a numb nut, even I look good. Q. But you’re one of the leading… A. And I train diligently. I train with Navy Seals and SWAT all around the country. I’m an honorary fellow member of the 101st Airborne, and a sworn sheriff’s deputy in Lake County, Mich.; Grant County, Wash.; Benton County, Tenn., and Arquette County, Wis. Q. What do you listen from cops underneath their breath? A. Massive, universal support–not underneath their breath. I’ve been stopped in each airport, each restaurant, each truck stop, each school, each feed mill, each church, each hospital, by I think each cop that gets down wind of me, and they sincerely shake my hand… each day of my tour. I don’t care what we’re doing, where we are… if we’re not journeying at a high rate of speed… at times it DOES occur when we’re journeying at a high rate of speed… but if I’m in a public setting, I am stopped each few minutes by a city cop, a sheriff, a fish cop, a DEA agent, a Secret Service agent, a federal sky marshal, they will come up to me, and literally, without exaggerating, with welled up eyes, shake my hand, don’t let go, and in the end say ‘Thank you for standing up for the good guys.’” Q. Will political aspiration soften your tone? A. The most dangerous thing in the world is to infringe me, because I’m already so cocky and stupid because I know that I have righteousness, truth, law, and decency on my side. And I’m on a commando public relations campaign, and if you talk to all the members of my organization, whether it’s professional musicians, professional hunting, my Ted Nugent Sportsmen of America… they are all adamantly, vehemently pro law enforcement. Q. I know animal rights activists have threatened your life. Do you have any ex cops on your staff… for security? A. I need security like a dairy farmer needs a mailman, okay. I don’t care how well trained he is, if a bad guy surfaces with a good deal of evil, he will not get his gun out. You may as well go in front and get started CPR, because I train like a dawwwg. I may put my entire clip of 16 rounds in that coffee pot (about 30 feet away) in, I’m gonna say, with regards to five or six seconds. And I’ve have this table up, and I’d have you pushed to the side, and not one would go outside that target. Q. Some in the media are categorizing you alongside Jesse Ventura, because of your straightforward, outspoken style. Do you have any… A. Jesse blew it in my opinion. He went moderate, and being moderate is permitting a guy who breaks into your house to stay over night? Shoot the son of a bitch. There’s sufficient precedence set that if he’s evil sufficient to break into your house he must be dead. People think I’m extreme… whatever! Hey! Stay for the show, because there’s gonna be a ballistic orgy on stage. |
Very comfortable…-
